The snare drum is the keystone of any drummer's sound. At some point in the musical journey, the player will embark on a search for the perfect drum to enhance their sound. With that player in mind, we created the S.L.P. series.
Tama's extensive research and development process led to a varied offering of S.L.P shell materials. Thickness and the specific parts were experimental with, to find each shell material's full sonic potential.
Super Aluminum-
This drum features a thicker Aluminum 1.6mm shell with a uniquely wide internal 15mm flanged edge. Add to that a center ridge and new Sound Arc Hoops, and the vintage stye sound is enhanced by a new layer of crispness and sustain. It's also very powerful, which is a characteristic not typically found in other generic aluminum snare drums.
